Just for informational purposes...... my Trashy Cache has been converted to a CITO cache after many emails with one of the admins. This is why it is appearing on the front MN gc page as an expired event. It can no longer be listed as it was previously.
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=36116

Locationless and reverse caches are no longer allowed on gc.com, but this effort is too important to allow it to become archived, so the admin and I came up with the following solution....

I will be picking a day every month as a "CITO day" (or week?) and posting it on the cache page. Hopefully on that day (or week) when you or your family go out geo-caching you will make special efforts at that time to pick up trash and post it on the cache pages...... But you will still be able to post your "finds" at any time of the month or year -- don't ignore it just because it is not CITO day. Multiple finds will be allowed and encouraged for this cache. I will be re-writing and updating the cache page this afternoon.

This cache was originally started as a project for the Environmental Journal TV show and got lots of positive publicity for geocaching at the time. I still believe this is an important project to continue our relationship with the park systems and the DNR. Let them all see what an asset we are to them with our activities!

(no flaming about the admins over this -- we came to a good compromise, and he was more than helpful in trying to keep my cache within the rules)

Centris, I think this is one of the most important and coolest caches out there today. Logging a find will have new meaning after I find this cache for the first time. Thank you very much for doing this one and taking the effort to talk with the admins to come to a resolution!

I have updated the page and renamed it accordingly.
Geo-mail me if there is something you think ought to be changed or is not clear.

I decided the 2nd Saturday would probably be good for the CITO days, but as you all know....
EVERY day is a CITO day!
Lets just make some special efforts and thought on that day

Maybe I will try to grab RJ's 123 cache and hide it amid the trashiest park I can find for that day --- dozens of geocachers will come and fight over who can pick up the most trash until they find it (kidding).

USNR-Ret (EcoTrekUSA) posted that the Viking Council BSA Dan Patch District in the Lower Minnesota River Basin has been putting out trash-out bag containers and clue cards at CITO sites -- anybody up for checking this out?

Today I visited [url=http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid={0793BB3B-A7F2-4E67-8549-2DF0D314D6AD}]GCHFTF (geoWIZard MultiCache)[/url] by EcoTrekUSA with R.J. this morning and was a bit surprised to find how strange it was. First off, the first stage was strapped to a pole in the parking lot - visiable from the road even. The "second stage" was actually one of SilentBob's caches, [url=http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid={1D3CE8E9-E708-44A6-B608-9318C472C934}]GC3367 (Jeremiah the Bullfrog Swamp by Ryan)[/url], which was hijacked and used for EcoTrekUSA's multi! I was really confused there for a bit, as EcoTrekUSA changed the container and wrote "hyperport" and "mngca.org" on it and left no clue that it was actually the Jeremiah cache I was looking for. Then the final was visiable from the other cache (0.03 miles away). When R.J. and I found it, which was visible from a distance, it appeared that the hiding location for the cache, a hollow log, was used as a trash container! The rest of the park seemed to be clean, except for the cache location... as it was covered in empty bottles, a bug spray can, etc. We would have trashed it all out if we had appropriate gloves. The container itself and all the little business cards associated with it in the Jeremiah cache had MNGCA written all over it. Probably not very good for our image to be placing caches on top of piles of trash stuffed in dead logs with MNGCA proudly taking claim!

Who is this EcoTrekUSA guy? He doesn't appear to be serving on the board, nor does he seem to post on the site... yet he seems to be doing his own work trying to represent us. He's only logged one physical cache, and hijacked it for use in his multi. Strange.

I only know that he caused me never-ending headaches by posting commercial URLs in his logs, people's email addresses other than his own (ie mine), and that he has apparently replaced a perfectly good cache container with something of his own. When he mentioned in his log that he did this I ignored it having absolutely NO idea that he intended to hijack my adopted cache...

I have disabled the Jeremiah the Bullfrog Swamp cache temporarily until I can replace the cache container. I have posted a SBA note on his cache to alert the approvers to the issues I have with it. I have also emailed mtn-man directly to explain some of the other problems w/the cache itself.

Did I tell you I thought it was strange? The strangeness, I guess doesn't fit into one post! I trashed out the food items he placed in the cache. Probably not a good idea.

Also, he lists in his description that before he placed it he saw "beer drinking litter at nearby trash-stash!" So instead of taking a bag on the next trip to trash it out, he put a cache there! Weird!!!

I will also say that the cache itself is actually well done, for a basic traditional cache.

You'd think if he puts all this time into creating a multi cache (despite hijacking someone else's cache as part of their multi and using half of his online effort advertising different sites of his and causes he supports), he'd take the time to actually do some trash-out himself!

Hmmmmmmm.........
Thanks for checking this out. I thought this guy was affiliated with the Boy Scouts somehow.
Guess I needed to investigate further before automatically thinking he was doing good. My fault.
